Don't Wait to Write Your Book

When I am 80 years old, I don't want to look back and wish I had written a book. That thought inspired me to write on many days when other pleasures seemed more fun. But, time is short, and days fly by, and that 80th birthday looms closer each second.

The time to write your book is now. But how? Where do I begin? How do I find an agent? A publisher? All those questions and more are answered at writers' conferences.

In 2001 I trembled into my first Montrose Christian Writer's Conference. Fears soon vanished as strangers became friends and seasoned writers became mentors.

Attending Montrose Christian Writer's Conference was the best professional decision I made as a writer.You can attend too. Please check out this year's brochure by googling Montrose Christian Writer's Conference.

Come be inspired and learn  as Montrose celebrates it's 25th Annual Montrose Christian Writers Conference, July 20-25, 2014.

What a thrill to sit under the teaching of some of the best  with authors like Cecil Murphey, writer of more than 135 books including 90 Minutes in Heaven (with Don Piper) and Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story (with Ben Carson). His books have sold millions and brought hope and encouragement to people around the world.

I've gone from trembling to teaching at Montrose. Honored and blessed and asking for prayer as I deliver the Monday Morning Challenge and teach three workshops on writing and speaking.

Please pray for me as I share God's Word during the Monday Morning Challenge titled, "Your Most Essential Writing Tool — a Pure Heart."  My three workshops are: "Touching Hearts with Words I and II," and "A Writer Speaks to Touch Hearts."

I'm praying  that God will nudge you to write your book. No one else can write it but you. On your 80th birthday, may you hold your book high with thanks to God that you wrote the book God put in your heart for future generations to read and praise the Lord.!

Spreading Splashes of Serenity to writers and readers!

UNQUENCHABLE: GROW a WILDFIRE FAITH that WILL ENDURE ANYTHING

  Carol Kent makes my list of people who changed my life. We met at her Speak Up Conference where I sat under her teaching and learned to communicate the Word of God and tell my story in a way that people will be drawn to Jesus Christ. Carol laughed and cried with me as I stood on a platform speaking for her evaluation. At the end of the week she signed me as part of her Speak Up Speaker Service. http://www.speakupspeakerservices.com/)  My speaking abilities went to a new level as Carol taught me to speak up with confidence. Since then, numbers of  people have heard my story and responded to God's call to repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

God used Carol Kent to change my life and the life of every person who responds as I communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ to people around the world. Just this month three prayed to accept Christ in Russia upon hearing how God worked in my marriage and my life.

What a joy to have Carol Kent endorse my book We All Married Idiots. She wrote: "Elaine W. Miller is a gifted communicator on and off the platform. Her book, We All Married Idiots, will have you rolling on the floor laughing while finding yourself personally challenged to develop biblical principles for a Christ-centered marriage. Each chapter provides fodder for discussion, self-examination, and personal growth. Buy one for yourself and additional copies to give away!"

Carol is the real deal. She knows suffering and sorrow and desires to love Jesus and glorify God through all her joys and pain. I love this lady and I admire her strength that brings her to her knees in daily surrender to God's will for her life and the lives of those she loves.

What a treat for me to review her new book, UNQUENCHABLE. 

Please take a look at her book trailer above and my review below.

"Where are you God?  Carol Kent's UNQUENCHABLE: GROW a WILDFIRE FAITH that WILL ENDURE ANYTHING answers that difficult question.  Join Carol and Jesus Christ on a powerful, personal, revealing  journey into the heart of her struggles with God and her son's life without parole sentence, into the heart of a woman whose husband and four children were killed in Rawanda, and into the hearts of others who struggle to find light when their world turns dark as Carol examines "What makes faith unquenchable? " UNQUENCHABLE is a must-read that gives strength and hope to those whose faith waivers under the weight of painful circumstances."

Are you hurting? Receive that splash of serenity from God and reignite the flame of God's fire in your soul by reading UNQUENCHABLE.
